Transform your designs into compelling, next-generation applications
Government agencies rely on innovative line-of-business applications to keep their workforce productive and on task. Creating these connected and comprehensive solutions presents a series of complex challenges for software developers. The means to the end often proves inefficient and costly—not to mention frustrating—for developers and end users. That’s why organizations need a development system that nurtures creativity, helping designers collaborate on rich, next-generation applications that offer outstanding user experiences.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 offers a complete set of powerful tools to simplify the entire development process from design to deployment. Working within a personalized environment, you can easily create rich applications for a wide range of platforms, including Microsoft SharePoint and cloud applications. Integrated support for test-driven development and new debugging tools help you find and fix bugs quickly and easily to help ensure high-quality solutions. Best of all, Visual Studio 2010 uses your existing skills to help unleash your creativity so you can accelerate the coding process.
Build applications on SharePoint technology
Does your agency use Microsoft SharePoint 2010 or Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 for collaboration and document management? You can easily build line-of-business applications by leveraging the new support for SharePoint development, including tooling for Web parts, lists, workflows, events, and more, so you can build great new customized solutions for your agency.
Benefit from cloud development with Windows Azure
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN is your one-stop shop for developing cloud-based applications on Windows Azure. In addition to the integrated project templates of Visual Studio, debugging, and publishing for the Microsoft cloud-computing platform, MSDN subscriptions provide a monthly allowance of compute hours, storage, and transactions for Windows Azure, helping to reduce the cost of your development environment by enabling development and test in the cloud.
Make the most of integrated application lifecycle management
Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 is the collaboration platform at the core of the Microsoft application lifecycle management solution. Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 automates the software delivery process and gives organizations the tools they need to manage software development projects throughout the IT lifecycle. Team Foundation Server enables everyone on the team to collaborate more effectively, be more agile, and deliver better quality software, all while building and sharing institutional knowledge.
Reduce complexity by using an integrated environment
Visual Studio 2010 Professional offers an integrated environment in which developers can use existing skills to code, debug, unit test, and deploy a growing number of application types. From coding to debugging to deployment, you can do all your work without leaving the Visual Studio 2010 environment. The personalized experience includes a brand new editor, built on Windows Presentation Foundation, which you can configure to suit the way you work. Take advantage of Visual Studio 2010 Professional Step-Up to Visual Studio 2010 Premium or Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate to leverage advanced features that drive code quality, help ensure architectural compliance, and pinpoint hard-to-reproduce issues through new IntelliTrace technology.
Take advantage of new tools for the QA professional
Make a sustainable impact to software quality with Microsoft Visual Studio Test Professional 2010, the integrated testing toolset for quality assurance managers and software testers. Take full advantage of a task-driven user interface, features like Fast Forward for Manual Testing, and tight integration to Team Foundation Server to gain in-context collaboration between all team roles and to make the most of complete traceability of user stories and requirements, progress reports, and real-time quality metrics. In addition, deep support gives your developers and testers swift access to help and broad community support for solving tricky problems.
